The latest production of Little Dipper Theatre Co.
March 12th-29th
The Great War is over, but Myra Bennett will not slow down. She has left England on a temporary assignment as the lone nurse to nearly 500km of rural coastline in Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula. Determined to leave her mark, Myra must brave the culture shock and decide whether she will allow the feisty locals to leave their mark on her as well. Soon, matters of the heart mix with matters of business, and her temporary contract threatens to become anything but! Could Newfoundland be where Myra belongs? And how will she know? Based on a true story, this Canadian gem has wowed audiences around the world with its poetry, emotion and celebration of community and resilience.
